» 4 ! FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. Joseph Phillips In Jail at Vincennes Charged With that Crime. f Joseph Phillips, who until recently, in charge of the elevator at Wheatland, is wanted on the charge of embezzlement. Itisalleged that he embezzled several farmers at Wheatland out of quite a quantity of wheat wh|th had been stored in the elevator and among them were 1L M. and U. T. Robinson 000 bushels, and Simon H. Robinson 400 bushels, and for which he refused to settle. 'Ehese men went before the grand jury and secured an indictment and Phillips was arrested in.this city during fair week. He gave bond in the sum of $1,000 with James S. Pritchett and Mrs. Lucinda 1. Hazleton of Hazleton, as sureties. It is alleged that the above gentlemen had stored their wheat in th^ elevator with'the man who had charge before Phillips and that Phillips had assumed all liabilities but had been misinformed. Since his Wheatland trouble he has been acting strangely and has failed to fulfill his promises to his bondsmen. He disappeared a few days ago and his bondsmen here ordered his arrest and offered $100 for his delivery to the sheriff of this county. Phillips was seen in this city Friday and is believed to be here now and his arrest is only a matter of a short time. His wife recently secured a divorce from him in the Pike county court. Later.—Since® writing the above Deputy Sheriff Dunn captured Joseph Phillips at the Union station and is therefore entitled to the $100 reward offered? by the sureties on his bond. He was remanded to jail where he will stay until his trial, which comes up next week. It is thought by a great many people that he is innocent of any intentional wrc’ig5 doing.—Vincennes Sun.

A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer of 1125‘Howard street, Philadelphia; Pennsylvania, when she found that Dr. King’s New' Discovery for consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this royal cure: “It soon removed the pain*in my chest and I can nowr sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remenaber doing before. I feel like soundiag its praises throughout the universe.” So will every one who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for any trouble of the throat, chest or lungs. Price 50 cents and $1.00.

Hanze, & farmer living near Bow ling Green, Kentucky, during the past season made some successful experiments in making an excellent quality of syrup from watermelons. He will shortly attempt to convert some of the syrup into sugar, and expects to be successful. He figures a big profit in the melon if used for making syrups and giyes his experience as follows: From eighteen melons, weighing* twenty to twenty-five pounds,we made two gallons and one pint of syrup. We cut the melons in halves, cut out the pulp, ground it in a cider mill, and pressed out the juice. We boiled the juice in porcelain kettles on the kitchen stove for twelve hours. With a cider mill and hot air or steam evaporator tw'o men can make tw'enty-five or thirty gallons of syrup per day. At the above figures it would take about 2T0 melons to make thirty gallons of syrup worth $15. Melons would be w orth at wholesale about $5 or $0 and it would take two or three days to haul and sell them at market. A farmer » with one or two hands could realize 100 per cent more by making them into syrup and feeding the refuse to hogs, cattle, horses and chickens, which eat it greedily. What Would You Do? If you were in our place, and had Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin for sale and knew it to be a certain cure for all stomach derangement, constipation or sick headache. Why, you would keep talking about it and swear by it and sell lots of it just as we do. At Oliphant Drug Co’s. n

We are going to move in two days; don’t know where. Yesterday the insurgents wrecked a train, shot two soldiers dead and wounded seven more. We went out and captured 37, and seven wounded and six dead out where the fight was today. The battleships are having some fun. They commenced early this morning and are still firing. It is about fifteen miles from us. We will hear the particulars tomorrow. You will see it in the papers. Well, you ought to see these towns. It is worth a man’s life to see this place, called the Philippine Islands, still it may cost me my life. Still I feel easy. I have my health and my whiskers. I weigh 165 I pounds. It rains every day and night. Mud, you never seen any mud. You ought to be here a little while. Bob Kirk is here, but I have not seen him. * * * I’ll tell you what we had for dinner. First, roast beef, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, stewed prunes,gravy, coffee and bread. This is about the way we live. We have fresh meat seven days out of ten, bacon two and fish one. So you see that is not bad. We are ordered out in the trenches, we will go out on the 25th. * * * Ad am quartermaster sergeant of the troops it keeps me on the hustle. Tell them that they don’t know what hardships are till they come over here and lie out in the rain two or three months. Still I have not been sick a day. You ought to be here and see some of. these big buildings and see how they are built. It is the wonder of the people at the amount of work has been done on this Island. Well, as I am in such a hurry I will stop for this time, hoping to hear soon, I remain as ever, Sergeant G. A. Grable, Troop M, 4th Cavalry.

Ingersoll's Last Letter. “I think the treatment bf the Filipinos wrong, foolish. I do not want the Filipinos unless they want us. I believe in expansion if it is honest. I want Cuba if the Cubans want us. At the same time I think our forces should be immediately withdrawn from Cuba and the people of that island allowed to govern themselves. We waged war against Spain for liberty and for right and we must wear the laurels unstained.”—R. G. Ingersoll to Editor Chester Claim, July 20, 1899, the day before he died. Mrs. M. P. O'Brien, Ivesdale, Illinois, writes: “I have used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin as a family medicine with the best of results. For derangements of the stomach and a general laxative, I like it better than anything 1 have used. It is so pleasant to taste, my children are always anxious to take it.” Sold by Oliphant Drug Co. n

THE MINE-WORKERS. Secretary PearceTelleof Their Condition in the United states. The national executive board oi the United Mine Workers of America held a special meeting at the headquarters, iu Indianapolis, on November 15th. Secretary W. C. Pearce says that, while the coal miners in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia are working under the scale of wages signed last spririg~at the nationaKmeeting in Pittsburg, anMnefe^se is expected next spring. \ “We signed our year'4 contract with the coal operators in good faith and will keep it,” said lie. “We want some of the prosperity which we hear so much of In business circles. The West Virginia miners got an increase of live cents this sutnmer. We have/ now between 85,OOOUMfd^O0(fWrribers. Our organization isJtbe greatest trade body in America. In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania we are strongest, although we now have local bodies in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas,

Texas and Michigan. We are not very well organized in West Virginia. The miners of that state refused to meet with us last spring. “There are more miners employed now than at this season a year ago. This may be cbunted prosperity for the boys.- The inter-state scale, under which we work, is a good one, but we want more pay and expect it. There are no strikes among our forces. I might say that conditions are considerably improved. There will be no coal scarcity, so far as we are concerned, for we have plenty of men to work. It depends on the operators. More mines are running, and this ought to mean an increased output of fuel in the states I have named. We are strongest in Illinois, but our membership is large in Indiana. Generally speaking, the wage-earners of the country ire better off, althoqgh the miners are never adequately paid.” ■o Home Seekers Excursion Rates. November 21st, December 5th and 19th.

Lincoln On Expansion.] - No man is good enough to govern another man Without that other’s consent. When the white man governs himself, that is self-government: but when he governs himself and also another man, that is more than selfgovernment—that is despotism. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us; our defense is j in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in all lands, everywhere. Those who deny free-1 dom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it. Abraham Lincoln. ________ Don’t Hesitate ] Or fool away your money.
